Most blockchains hit a storage limit. The Internet Computer scales past it. David Derler explains how the IC reaches: - 2 TB per subnet - 94 TB total replicated capacity - Fully onchain compute and data

At Genesis, a Subnet was able to support 50GIB. Today, a subnet supports 2TIB. 47 Subnets X 2 TIB = 94 TIB of overall storage capacity. Nothing in the space comes even close to this figure. $ICP = World Computer ♾

Those are some serious scaling numbers, always good seeing chains push the limits 👏

Massive. Most chains are fighting to store a few gigs, the IC is scaling into datacenter territory while keeping compute fully onchain. For builders like us, this is the foundation that makes real onchain logic possible: adaptive strategies, real data feeds, stateful DeFi systems… all without offloading anything. Scaling storage = scaling what apps can actually do.

Most chains scale transactions. The IC scales the substrate itself. When compute and data scale natively on-chain — storage stops being a limit and starts becoming an advantage.

ICP is a sleeping giant ready to awaken and take the cryptographic markets by storm.

here is some overview regarding blob storage you can read it here if you want :

Terabyte-scale subnets and 94 TB replicated capacity is the kind of infra you need for real social, gaming, and AI workloads on-chain. $ICP is quietly becoming the only L1 where the data layer is the blockchain, not something patched in with S3 or IPFS. ♾️🚀

On chain data storage is our specialty. Our proof of storage / proof of stake hybrid protocol stores shards of data files on Datos Farming nodes. We love what ICP is doing, let’s build together. 🤝⚡️ #DatosDrive $DTS

This is what real on-chain scale looks like. Not a patch, not a workaround, actual internet-level infrastructure.

Lets go #icp

Bearish for ICP, scamer boys

Dump it. Absolute garbage. Price is REKT

When does the CBR trend up?

Insane scale real onchain compute + massive storage is the future. IC keeps pushing the limits 🔥 Would love to get a follow back😀

Those capacity numbers are impressive. Scaling storage natively on-chain could really shift the dynamics of blockchain utility.

Great move, let’s connect 🚀
